edit: Whoops, BossRighteous said something similar about this, but I never had to change any options to do it so...Yeah?User-Friendly posted:Is there any way to force Google to use a certain spelling in a search? Searching for all the info about a person with an unusually spelled name, "Johnn Smith" for example, brings up results for "John," "Jon," "Johnny," etc. with them all bolded as if they were search terms. I can see how that would be useful in other cases, but I know I only want results with the way I spelled it. Can I get it to JUST find my spelling? But it is still annoying having to fidget with Google just to get it to search for the thing you actually searched for.

For years I've been seeing stuff about transparent smartphones being developed. Why transparent? What's good about that? I get that it's sort of flashy and interesting, but why that technology over any of the dozens of other ideas they could be developing to make phones more advanced. Transparency doesn't do anything.

I seem to recall some grad students being super excited about the new gesture options that a transparent touch-screen opens up - you can suddenly interact with things from the back as well as the front. It also is a good segue into heads-up displays. I dunno, I think it's kinda gimmicky. But I think Twitter is kinda gimmicky, so I guess that's no reason why it can't take off. And hey, if gimmicks sell phones, it doesn't have to mean anything, or actually be any better.

What do I need to use my computer monitor as a screen for game consoles and poo poo? Something with component cable inputs, I imagine?

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Which consoles are you talking about? What inputs does your monitor have? Current consoles should all have HDMI out and newer monitors will accept that. For older consoles with component (or composite) out, there are converters that will do what you need. You can probably a device to convert just about any kind of signal at Monoprice. If your monitor only has DVI or VGA (ugh) or doesn't have built-in speakers then you'll have to split out the audio as well. It's actually a laptop, so I'm pretty sure my only inputs are USB, with SATA and HDMI outs.

In this case your only hope is some kind of USB TV tuner card and even if you find one that's cheaper enough than an actual television would be, the latency will be so bad as to make games unplayable. Unfortunately your best bet is to just buy an external monitor with HDMI (and/or component/composite/whatever) inputs and hook both the laptop and the console(s) up to that.

the posted:Can an impotent man have an orgasm? If so, how is that accomplished? Depends on what you mean by "impotent" but, in general, yes. Impotence usually refers to infertility or erectile disfunction, which does not necessarily imply orgasm disorder. http://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/understanding-male-sexual-problems-basics

muike posted:I just wanted to see if I could get around buying a TV. Thanks! No problem; sorry to be the bearer of bad news! I tried the same thing a few years ago with a PS2 and a PCI TV card; games like Chrono Cross were fine, if a bit awkward, but any kind of action-based game (Mega Man Anniversary Collection, for example) was terrible. I can't imagine that a USB card would perform any better...

I think I explored the possibility of trying to use my monitor or laptop as a screen and everything came up subpar compared to a TV. The laptop path is just not worth it at all. I did play my PS3 on my monitor with HDMI input for a while, but the graphics were not done justice for some reason. Everything looks better on a TV. Of course, now that I have a TV, I don't even play games anymore. It's just useful to have a television anyway, especially since you can connect a computer to any modern TV through HDMI. I think any games will look better on a TV versus a monitor.

I did play my PS3 on my monitor with HDMI input for a while, but the graphics were not done justice for some reason. TVs and computer monitors have different native resolutions, so when you plug a monitor into a thing that's supposed to display on a TV (or vice-versa) you get a lower-quality image. Theoretically you can fix it by setting the output resolution correctly, but that's often not actually possible.

Is there a word or even really good description for something that was once kinda "underground" and is now very popular or when you liked it when it was unpopular? Besides hipster. There has to be a legitimate term for something like this. Basicially is there another term for someone than 'hipster' who goes "well I liked X before you knew of it"? Like: "I had the Cypress Hill album before you even had a CD player" or "I was reading Lets Play's before they were video" or "The first Avenged Sevenfold was pretty drat legit, I don't mind tellin you" or "I've loved Bon Iver since they performed in my tiny town in Wisconsin in 2003"

helopticor posted:"Early fan"? If they're saying these things in response to "I like Cypress Hill", they may be a "one-upper". There are probably other words/phrases. What qualities are you trying to convey? Well a "one-upper" is pretty much exactly what I want, but makes the person seem like a dick. Is there a more political way of saying this to someone? Also what the hell is your avatar? I'm turned off and attracted at almost equal levels. No just turned off... Never mind that other part of my brain.

"Early adopter" is the best I've got but it's geared more towards products than art. According to Urban Dictionary it works for anything so

Are giant lines at the DMV an actual thing people experience or is it just a joke that doesn't actually reflect anything in real life? All my experiences have been quick and the employees helpful so maybe I'm just really lucky.

Congrats: you live in a state that properly funds government services like the DMV. People who vitch about it generally live in some state that doesn't bother to fund anything properly so they get the dmv open for 4 hours a day 3 days a week and only one worker and everything takes forever.

In my state nearly all the stuff you would do at the DMV can be done online or on the phone in the first place, and we also fund the system well, so there's pretty much no wait times ever.

Iv'e always wondered, what exactly does the racoons go during the winter? I notice that they never come out during the winter/fall months. Do they hibernate or migrate or something along those lines? I'd also kinda of be open to some ideas to prepare for their invitable return. I had trouble with last year but I think I started to late in the season to be effective against them.
